Episode 1: The Current Landscape

How do we build health systems that truly listen and learn from their frontline? Dr. James O'Donovan and Dickson Mbewe sit down with Dr Madeleine Ballard, CEO & Co-founder of Community Health Impact Coalition (CHIC) and Tracey McNeill, Director of Primary Health Care at the Gates Foundation. Together they unpack why community health workers (CHWs) must be recognised not only as vital service providers, but also as data collectors and data users whose insights can transform national health planning.
